shell: run command based on regexp pattern
 

here's a shell question fer ya'll.

for a *NIX shell, based on a regexp pattern, can the shell be smart enough to execute a command based on that?

For instance, if you're doing a ton of sshing or telnetting to devices with a similar device schema (xxxx-nodey) can the shell interpret this as to telnet to that specific node?

Thx all!

How does the regex interpolation play into what you're trying to do??? It's unclear to me from your posting.
